This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of dio for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I've been spending some time exploring dio which is a new creative and social experience which allows you to make and explore unique places created by other dio users. Walk though an online re-creation of your dream home or wedding.

If you're feeling creative, visit dio.com, create a place, and comment back here with the email you signed up and you'll be entered to win a $100 Amazon giftcard! *To win, you must be an active user. Optional (You can also tweet with a message about your place and include @dioplaces in your tweet with a dedicated #discoverdio hashtag.

dio places are personal and public spaces filled with pictures, video text and even interactive objects. Places are arranged spatially so users can travel and explore streets, buildings, houses and cities, just like in the real world.

One of dio's compelling features is co-creation so that you can select others to create a space with you. Do you have mutiple experts on one subject area? If yes, they can co-create a place!I created my own dream (but modest) beach house. I love to imagine what I would do if I could afford a very small house on the beach front. Hey, it's still a dream but the size makes it a little less fantasy. Check out my {future;-) ;-)} beach house here. My username is Kathleen Frances. Each room has a few objects you can discover.

I loved being able to create my own virtual house that others could walk through making it more of an experience rather than a list. It's also a space that I can walk through whenever I feel like daydreaming. It's also great to connect with like minded users.

dio features an easy-to-use creative tool for designing your own places to share with the world. Keep it simple or expand your space with connected rooms -- the choice is yours! Then, make your creations come alive with interactive objects that visitors can pick up and use, including locks, keys, doors, animals and even imaginary characters to talk to. You can even use dio to make interactive stories and games!

I did it! I created a "welcome to my home" space so I could show off where we just moved! Thanks for the giveaway chance!https://www.dio.com/places/behind-the-screen-with-doodlecraftI love it! I want to have my kids do their next book report in DIO format! :) Natnataliedshaw@hotmail.com
